As we all know, the jersey number, as a symbol of a player, can be said to be in addition to the name, a player another business card. As a recognized basketball god in the world basketball field, it is not difficult to mention him to think of the No. 23 jersey, and it is precisely because of the appearance of Jordan that under his influence, No. 23 has become the "strongest number" in the basketball field. But, did you know that Jordan has worn a total of 5 numbers in his career? Do you know what the reasons behind it are?
Number 23
When it comes to Jordan, the god of basketball, the first thing that comes to mind is the No. 23 jersey, which Jordan wears most of the time in high school, college, or the NBA. The reason Jordan chose this jersey number was because of his brother, Larry Jordan. When he was a child, Jordan often singled out with his brother, but he was always abused by him, so when he was a child, Jordan thought that he was better than half of his brother's, because Larry Jordan's jersey number was 45, so Jordan chose 23, which was a little more than half of 45.
Number 45
Therefore, after talking about why Jordan chose no. 23, it is not difficult to understand why he chose no. 45. After his first comeback in the middle of the 1995 season, Jordan chose to wear the number 45 jersey to the league, and played the playoffs with the Magic. However, Jordan, wearing the number 45 jersey, made a fatal mistake in the first game of the magic series, allowing The Magic youngster Anderson to complete the steal, and the Bulls eventually lost the game. After the game, Anderson faced the reporter and said bluntly that Jordan of the 45th was not as strong as the No. 23, causing Jordan to change back to the No. 23 jersey in anger.
Number 12
Of course, Jordan also wore the No. 12 jersey in the NBA, which is estimated to have surprised many fans. However, Jordan wearing this jersey is also a helpless move, because there was a thief in the dressing room at that time, and Jordan's jersey was stolen clean, so Jordan could only choose to wear a no. 12 jersey without a name. However, this jersey also brought good luck to Jordan, who wore the number 12 jersey to face the Magic mania to score 49 points in the game, which also became a legend.
Number 9
Of course, Jordan has also represented the U.S. national team twice in the Olympic Games, but because FIBA stipulates that the number of players on the international field is only 4-15, jordan chose the No. 9 jersey, the reason is also very simple, because the combination of 4 + 5 is 9, so Jordan, who participated in the Olympic Games as a college student in 1984, also deservedly chose no. 9, and then in the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, Jordan also continued his tradition of No. 9.
No. 5
And if you know that Jordan has worn this jersey number, it is estimated that it is really Jordan's hardcore fans. At the 1983 Pan American Games, Jordan wore the national team shirt for the first time, and at that time he chose no. 5, because the two numbers of his jersey number 23 at that time, the sum of 2+3 was 5, plus the team had regulations at that time, the defender chose the number with a smaller number, so the only time in Jordan's career to wear the No. 5 jersey was formed, was it an eye-opening feeling? （ikuet）
